A Red.Hehded GaIrI,s Complaint.

To begin with, l am a red-headed
girl; at least some call me so, and it is
in the interest of my prosecuted sister
hood and of myself that l make the
appeal to you. Before the ''look-for-a-
white-horse" craze came upon us we
were accustomed to a great deal of ad-
miration from gentlemen, and, sup
pose, caused much jealousy to exist in
the breasts of our less-favored and
dark-haired sisters, for they have
shamefully formed plot to throw us
into ignOminy, or at least to make
1t SO uncomfortable for us that we are
obliged to HE ourselves away from an
hair is not red; that is, it never has
been called red until lately, and now
certainly it must have taken a deeper
tint, for as l pass down the street l
hear something like this from all sides:
''Look for white hOrse!'' where's
the white horse?'' ''Why, haven't you
heard of the red-haired-girl white horse
craze? It's too funny for anything! If
you see red-headed girl, just look for
it and you are sure to see a white
horse. It's too funny. Itnever fails,
etc. Now, it is altogether too funny"
and, to say the least. is very uncom-
Portable. A party was recently formed
to investigate into the matter and find
out, if possible, who was responsible
for the plot flor plot it isl and the mys-
terry, if any, connected with red hair
and white horses. They unanimously
agreed that there was no mystery, and
that it was nothing more than a wick
eddy gotten up scheme to draw atten-
ton from us; for just as soon as the
color of our hair is seen everyone is
looking for the horse, not so much as
casting glance or second thought upon
us. But our time will come, and then
let the enemies of our sisterhood look
out. AS soon as arrangements can be
made a meeting will be held to consider
the state of affairs, experiences viii be
discussed regarding this plot and its
workings, and committees appointed to
investigate and report. Due notice
will be given. Let there be a good at
tendance.-Chicago Tribune.

SPAIN has been for some time en-
gagged in making preparations for a fit
ting celebration of the four-hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of Amsr-
lea, but so far as heard from, we be-
lieve no efforts are being put forth by
any of the American governments to
assist in this enterprise. Nevertheless,
the Spanish movement will be sure of a
hearty response from all the nations
that flourish on the Western continent.
We on this side of the Atlantic owe
much more to the untiring patience and
energy of Columbus than does SPANK
In any joint undertaking on the part of
the North and South American nations
to commemorate this great event in
history, the United States should not
occupy the second place.

DEATH OF Nh. NEW0oMB.

Elsewhere in these columns appears
an article by Col. II. C. Whitley on the
death of his almost lifetime friend and
comrade, Hon. A. B. Newcomb, late
editor-in-chief Of this paper, which
viii be perused with SORROW by the
many friends the departed gentlemen
made during his stay in this city.
Shortly after the change of admins
tration caused by the election of Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Newcomb came to this
city and purchased an interest in TILE
NEWS, with the intention Of making
this city his home, naturally supposing
that the change would result in his re-
moval from his position in the pension
department. In pursuance of this
idea, he assumed editorial charge
of the paper. His name has since
then appeared at the head of its columns
as editor, although his active duties
as such were of short duration Gen.
Black, when appointed commissioner of
pensions, recognizing his usefulness,
integrity and great capacity in the par
ticular sphere in which he had made a
life work and for which he was especial
ly fitted by his long service. Being re-
called to Washington, he resumed his
old position in the secret service at the
solicitation of Gen. Black, who not only
retained Col. Newcomb, but many 9TH
ers known to be republicans, thus
showing that, in at least one branch of
the administration, manly integrity
and worth were more to be appreciated
than craftsmanship.
Since then he has remained attend
ing to his duties in Washington, and
supposedly in his usual health, until
the announcement of his sudden de-
cease came last evening like a stroke OF
lightning from clear and cloudless
sky.
To those associated with him in the
publication of THE NEWS, during his
brief stay in this city, Col. Newcomt
endeared himself as only an association
of those engaged in labor which is
loved, can in so short time. He was
undoubtedly a journalist of great force
an easy and strong writer, gentleman
in every sense of the word, and one Of
Gods noblest works-a true man.

EAST LAS VEGAS, Aug. 16.-I again
seat myself at pleasant desk in the
Wells, Fargo express Office to tell of
things and doings in New Mexico. 1
agreed to tell in this letter about the
Las Vegas Hot Springs, which are sit

Santa Fe railroad running to them,
making four trips day. 1t is situated
on the stream that runs through this

view of the country; in front and be-
low is a most beautiful plaza of per-
haps five acres enclosed and laid out
with extended walks and shade trees of
various kinds. This is surrounded
by bath houses, stores, Gu

THE following extract. which is go
ing the rounds of certain Glass of pa
pers, reminds one Of the story of the
fox and the grapes. Jeff Davis was
puzzled in the same manner when
the fathers of these boys banded to-
gether:'
The SONS of veterans have, of course,
q perfect right to band together if they
choose; but why they should choose to
do so is a puzzle to many. 1t doesn't
follow that because their fathers were
soldiers in the civil war, these sons of
veterans are more patriotic or have a
greater interest in the preservation of
the government than the sons of men
who never shouldereda musket. 1t is
creditable to them that they are proud
of their fathers bravery and achieve
ments; but how the bravery and the
victories won by their sires reflect espe-
cial glory upon or entitle them to par
ticular distinction is not apparent to the
discerning eye.

EMPoRIA don't want a boom, and

No, certainly not. Emporia isn't built
that way. 1t would be impossible for a

nYthing.-Wichita Journal.
EmpoTia has no reason to be Jealous
of Wichita, neither as regards her
inflated values of so-called town lots,
whisky joints, metropolitan police or
other points on which she prides her
self. The only thing Emporia feels
at all jealous of that Wichita possesses
is her base ball team.

IT is claimed that clubs going to
Denver to play match games of base
ball have an up hill time of it, as the
rarified air effects them in such a man
ner that they can not run the
bases or take other violent exercise
with near the ease that those acclim-
atised can. An example of this was
given in the game Friday between the
Hastings and Denver mines, when the
score stood % to in favor of the
Denvers. The Hastings club is said
to be much the best club.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very Won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,

ought to be got rid of. There is just

has failed you, you may depend upon
